СПОЙЛЕР
* The book "Seven Pillars of Wisdom" by T. E. Lawrence[3] In the trailer, Drake is heard saying, "All men dream: but not equally." This is a shortened version of a quote from "Seven Pillars of Wisdom." "All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, to make it possible."
* Visible in the trailer (written in a diary) are the names "Thomas, Philby, Thesiger," referring to Bertram Thomas, St. John Philby and Wilfred Thesiger. Thomas was the first Westerner to cross the Rub' al Khali desert, Philby was an explorer and intelligence officer and Thesiger was a travel writer and explorer. All three were British.
* Also shown in the trailer is a form of the "Pentagram of Solomon", from the 17th century book "The Lesser Key of Solomon." According to the book, "It is to preserve thee from danger, and also to command the Spirits by." The pentagram supposedly gave Solomon the power to command demons, genies, or to speak with animals.
* A symbol called the "Monas Hieroglyphica" is shown twice. The symbol is broken up into four different parts, "Ignis" (fire), "Sol" (sun), "Luna" (moon), and "Elementa" (shortened to "Elem" in the trailer, meaning elements). According to John Dee's book "Monas Hieroglyphica," the symbol is "meant to express the mystical unity of all creation." The author John Dee was Queen Elizabeth I's personal astrologer. The word "Dee" can be seen in the trailer to the top left of the Pentacle of Solomon (see images in gallery below).[4]
* The words, "Ubar Wabar," "Iram of the Pillars" and "City of Brass" can be seen on a post-it note. "Ubar" and "Wabar" are both alternate names for "Iram of the Pillars." "The City of Brass" is a tale from "One Thousand and One Nights" which is about a group of travelers on an archaeological expedition across the Sahara to find an ancient lost city in the attempt to recover a brass vessel that Solomon once used to trap a genie. Along the way they encounter a mummified queen, life-like humanoid robots, "seductive marionettes dancing without strings," and a brass horseman robot.
* Several other items are also visible, including: an American Passport, a British £20 and £10 note, a dagger, a collection of maps of Arabia, what appears to be a map of France, a cup from the "Rapscallion Café," and a Central-London phone number with the last three digits smudged beyond readability.
* The words "Ou Phrontis, I don't care" can be seen on a post-it note. This is a quote from a story by the Greek historian Herodotus in which a young man was going to marry a king’s daughter. Unfortunately during the dinner party he got drunk, stood on his head on the table and began dancing with his legs in the air. Shocked at such conduct the king said to him severely: “You have danced away your bride.” But the young man replied, “Ou Phrontis, I don’t care”! T. E. Lawrence adopted the quote and had a sign above the door of his cottage "Clouds Hill" that said "Ou Phrontis." He said of it that, "We weren’t to care, as soon as we were inside; we were to feel easy, and not worry about the world and its standards."
* Several images of T. E. Lawrence are visible, including a newspaper cutting that deals with his death in a motorcycle accident.
* A pencil that says "NDI charter" is also visible.
* Francis Drake's diary is visible on the table, along with a his motto "Sic Parvis Magna" which appears in the top left corner of what is possibly Nathan Drake's journal.
